As you know from my previous posts I visited Poland last year in December. One of the cities I visited was Krakow. Krakow is probably the most beautiful and fascinating city in Poland. The attraction is not just the splendid architecture and the treasures of art but also the unique ambience of the former Jewish district and the masterpieces of Polish Art Nouveau. However old and beautiful it is, Krakow is not limited to its monuments and museums. Krakow with its unique atmosphere, hundreds of pubs, clubs and cosy coffee bars sparkles with life and it is really nice place to visit. When we arrived in December the Christmas Market was still just about going. There were also white horse drawn carriages starting their fares from the square and men inside great wine barrels selling spiced hot wine and lots of small stalls selling pretty little things. A blacksmith even makes swords and other items in the square and two big outdoor ‘kitchens’ barbecue sausages and other local delicacies. It was lovely to walk around and enjoy the scenery. I took the picture you can see here while walking around the market square. I hope I can take you there one day and you will be able to experience the magical atmosphere of Kakow.
